A sales agent acquiring worldwide rights to a film is not international success – that is a mandatory component of financing a feature film. The vast majority of films have a sales deal in place before they are greenlit.

TV/episodic is clearly punching above it’s weight and achieving great things, but the feature side of things is not doing well here at all. Sucks to see that our producer’s association are burying their heads in the sand again.
